The replacement is RuleBasedPermissionResolver, the configuration of
which is described in seam21migration.txt in the root of the Seam
project. If you want to provide your own simple method for checking
permissions, you simply need to implement the PermissionResolver
interface. Your custom PermissionResolver implementation will be picked
up automatically during deployment of your Seam application and used for
permission checks. I'm still working on documentation for all the new
security features (there's a ton of stuff to cover) and unfortunately
the current version of the docs is quite outdated now so probably not
much use to you.
Oh and by the way, there's also PersistentPermissionResolver which may
already meet your requirements. It allows you to map certain
permissions to users and roles (stored in a database). You can see it
in action in the SeamSpace example.

Hi,
I am trying to upgrade drools-jbrms' dependency on Seam from version
2.0 to 2.1 and have been having some fun with the new security
features in Seam 2.1. The doc mentions that I need to use
RuleBasedIdentity or extend this class if I want to use Drools based
security checks, however this class(RuleBasedIdentity) seems have been
removed from trunk. So what is the replacement for RuleBasedIdentity
in Seam2.1? Any helps will be appreciated.
Another question is that I may want to avoid using rule-based checks,
but using sth simple instead, e.g., the "simplified mode" as described
by the doc. In this case I need to extend Identity and have a context
somewhere to store my own customized permission objects, very similair
to what RuleBasedIdentity does in 2.0. Below is a code snippet that
works in Seam 2.0
//same user may have different roles for different packages
public class PackageBasedPermission {
private String package;
private String role;
public String getPackage;() {
return package;
}
public String getRole;() {
return role;
}
}
//Assert customized permission object into working memory
WorkingMemory wm = ((RuleBasedIdentity)
Identity.instance()).getSecurityContext();
wm.assertObject(new PackageBasedPermission("package1", "admin"));
wm.assertObject(new PackageBasedPermission("package2", "guest"));
So the question is if there is any context I can use in Seam to story
my customized object similar to the
RuleBasedIdentity.getSecurityContext()?
Thanks,
Jervis Liu
